I went nuts for these little Kewpie Keychain guys as soon as they arrived at FP from Japan. Check it – I got myself a lil’ ninja! They make Sesame Street and Manga characters as well, in addition to some random cheeky guys and gals that I couldn’t identify.
I grabbed a few for my bestest friends (Joe freaked for Astroboy Kewpie!) and now we all wear them in some conspicuous place, like our zippers or keychains. I gaze at mine lovingly, daily.

Flipping through this month’s issue of Playboy (I have a subscription, okay? If anyone needs back issues, they’re stacked on my toilet), I happened upon a most pleasant discovery: Paul Pope has a new, sassy bit o’ toy out there for the lady lovers – a 7.5 inch soft vinyl figure of Monique St. Pierre, Playboy Miss November 1978, exclusively for Kidrobot.
Paul Pope’s span of creativity clearly runs the gamut – he’s been known to dabble in graphic novels (one of which was just picked up by Paramount, Battling Boy), mind-blowing art books (I’m LOVING PulpHope: The Art of Paul Pope) and even has a clothing collection for DKNY Jeans.
Oh, and did I mention he worked his Pope-tastic magic on BATMAN YEAR 100? His rendition of Gotham’s Greatest is one for the history books – and the homemade collage that hangs over my bed in tribute to my one true crime-fighting love.
Check out Paul’s blog here: http://pulphope.blogspot.com/.
And click “Read More” for some of my PP faves (oh, and there’s one in there slightly NSFW, just be warned)!
